As several reviewers have pointed out, the surface is too slippery. Has anyone found a good solution to this?

My solution was to stick Velcro on the bottom of my laptop and on the desk. I used the soft side on my laptop, which hasn't affected me carrying it or placing it on other surfaces. It only took two little pieces and the problem was solved.

I have a triple fan that I set on my buddy and then put the laptop on the fan. I have not had any problems with slippage even without the fan. My laptop sits in the middle of the cup holder, light, and pen tray. This keeps it in place.

Yes, I had that problem, too. I didn't find a solution - just had to rest it on the floor and cradle it with my feet.

For me it's perfect on flat surfaces...However when I try to do it on my lap, it will slip sometimes (of course I'm moving around tho and sometimes at an angle, so I won't hold that against the case).

I agree with M.C the surface has to be smooth. my dashboard has a slight dip and I've had to fight with it for a long time before sticking it to the windshield.

I don't own this but here's what I'd try if I were to use this in a car: smear a very thin film of silicon sealant over the charging surface, perhaps texturing the surface further by for instance dragging a pocket comb over the wet silicon. I've done this with other things and when the silicon dries it has a good non-slip surface. Alternatively you can try "egrips" appliques, which work great.

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

Sorry. Can't live without my mousepad. Try contacting the manufacturer. Sometimes they are more than willing to help.

it may have too much dust on it to stick. clean the pad with a little soap and water and try it again

Clean the surface with alcohol, tubbing, not the drinking kind. And ince you attach it hold it for a few seconds. It took a couple of times for me too.

No it doesn't get slippery. It's a very good product and very easy to install!

You might have the tray on the wrong way. Try and turn it around. I had the same problem.

Back is rough. Slippage depends on your surface. I have never found slipping a problem.

Wow thank u, good to know/keep in mind, i just purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. Maybe try wiping down the surface? Maybe its been de-sensitized?

Have not had a problem with the heat, but I will say that surface is not the best to the laptop because it is not sticky, wood like surface is a bit slippery.

Hi Kyle, Unfortunately this is the only solution that we have for this item. Thank you

You can by using gorilla glue or crazy glue. I had the same issue and that worked just fine. Haven't had a problem since.

I get the same "slop". Barely moves a fraction of a millimeter but enough to be annoying. It appears that many have this problem when I do a search. Seems many are coming up with clever ways to fix this...many are adding a thin piece of rubber to tighten everything up.
